Abstract: A partial wig has a fabric support to which the hairs of the wig are secured, the support being semi-circular with a diametrical straight edge. A barrette anchorage member comprises a folded over fabric defining a conduit extending along the straight edge of and stitched to the wig support. The conduit receives a spring member of a hair barrette having a base plate to which an ornamental bow is secured and a hair retainer which rotatably latches to the base plate with the spring and anchorage members sandwiched therebetween. The spring member resiliently engages a slot of the retainer, locking the hair of a wearer and the anchorage member in place. Different barrettes may be used with the same wig and anchorage member assembly or different wigs or head covers such as veils with their attached anchorage members may be used with the same or different barrettes in interchangeable relation.

The hair tie comprises a generally planar, elongated material containing corresponding fastening surfaces at each end. The hair tie encircles the lock of hair in a belt-like fashion and fastens upon itself. The hair tie is capable of tying different amounts of hair by varying the positions the ends of the hair tie engage. Additionally, the hair tie incorporates an elastic loop and a friction pad to ensure the hair tie securely attaches and remains in position on the lock of hair.

Abstract: A hair relaxer and post-relaxer hair brightener system and method is disclosed which overcomes the undesirable alteration of the natural tone of hair, especially of naturally gray hair, by highly-alkaline hair-relaxing systems. The natural tone of such alkali-relaxed hair is desirably brightened, enhanced and restored in a hair brightening step by certain disclosed post-relaxer aqueous hair brightener compositions which contain an active hair brightening agent. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the hair brightening agent comprises a relatively low active concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: An applicator consisting of a dispenser in the form of a comb or brush and an active-substance preparation containing at least one hair-softening or hair-setting component in a concentration of from 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the active-substance preparation, and having a viscosity at room temperature of from 0.9 to 12 mPa.s enables hair to be specifically aftertreated with minimal effort and without adversely affecting the hair or scalp.

Abstract: A tool for facilitating threading of a ponytail type of hair style within itself to achieve an attractive in appearance hair style. The tool includes a loop through which the ponytail is conducted with this loop to then be tightened on the ponytail prior to being pulled through the inner portion of the ponytail.

Abstract: A tool set comprising modified combs to selectively lift portions of hair; calibrated manually operated color mixing tubes to measure each component of the hair coloring composition and mix and dispense; and a hair coloring brush, with a brush head attached to a calibrated battery activated dispensing handle with a switch located close to the brush head depressable to eject hair coloring mixture through the brush head to the base of bristles in the brush head.

Abstract: A device for dispensing and applying chemicals onto hair or other multi-fiber composition, consisting of a deformable container, a comb having a hollow spine in fluid communication with the deformable container, and a separator with a dispenser in fluid communication with the hollow spine of the comb.

Abstract: A dental floss applicator structure is arranged to include a framework to mount a dental floss dispenser housing, wherein the housing directs a dental floss filament from the housing about a smooth groove, that in turn directs the filament through a first guide post and through spaced first and second extension legs directing the filament between the extension legs and returning the filament through a second guide post and wrapped around the guide post below the framework as a take-up structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a frosting foil for use in connection with frosting and/or coloring a subject's hair. The frosting foil includes a sleeve, an adhesive surface, and a backing material. The sleeve is sized to receive the tail of a tail comb so that a stylist may pick up and properly place the foil at a strand of hair desired to be treated. The adhesive attaches the foil to the strand of hair to prevent movement of the foil. Further, the adhesive permits the foil to be folded into place so that all of the foils may be placed prior to the addition of any coloring agent. After placement of the foils, each foil may be sequentially opened and a coloring agent placed on the strand of the hair contained in the foil.

Abstract: Applicators (15, 40) for depositing mascara (16) on an eyelash (17) and lipstick (41) on a face (21), respectively, are disclosed, as well as methods of their applications. An absorbent tissue (47) is wrapped about one portion (45) of a properly circumferentially-sized applicator (40). After lipstick (41) is applied to the women's lips (43), they are puckered, tissue (47) on applicator (40) inserted into her mouth, and excess deposit of lipstick (41) is absorbed by tissue (47) without it depositing upon her teeth (42). The second applicator (15) comprises a curvi-lineared edge 22 which correlates to (by crossing) the line of the lower eyelash (17) after which mascara (16) from a brush (39) is evenly and properly applied to the eyelash (17). Face (21) below edge (22) is contoured to fit the flesh portion (24) of the eye socket (25).

Abstract: A nape and scalp stimulator for use in simultaneously massaging both sides of the nape of the human neck is disclosed. The stimulator includes: an elongated body having a top and a bottom surface as well as a peripheral rim extending between said surfaces, a plurality of narrow teeth integral with the body and depending from its bottom surface. Two rotatable T-shaped handles for retaining the stimulator within the hands of the user are joined to the stimulator body and extend from the top surface thereof. In an alternative embodiment of the stimulator, a hinge is provided within the elongated body thereby permitting adjacent stimulator elements to pivot relative to one another.

Abstract: A permanent wave apparatus for curling hair includes a perm roller having a cylindrical outer surface with four equally-spaced longitudinal rows of outwardly projecting teeth positioned thereon. As the hair strands are wrapped around the roller, the rows of teeth act to provide additional compression of the hair by pressing it more firmly together between adjacent teeth with each rotation of the roller. Thus, increased compression of the hair strands is a function of both the number of rotations or wraps of a roller and the compacting action of the hair between the roller teeth. End papers having a longitudinal I-shaped slot opening therein enhance wrapping of the hair by holding the ends of all of the hair strands in place during wrapping, thereby eliminating fish hooks or bent ends, and enabling perfect wraps, even on extemely texturized cuts. Plastic slide clips serve to secure the first roller used to wrap a given section of hair to the scalp to provide increased volume of the resulting curl at the scalp.

Abstract: A hairdressing apparatus includes a clamp having a pair of ribs which are pivotally connected at a lower end and adjustably releasably connected at an upper end, to grip hair therebetween. A comb portion includes a back with teeth projecting therefrom, and upper and lower legs projecting from the ends of the back parallel to the teeth. The projecting ends of the comb legs are releasably connected to the upper and lower ends of the clamp portion to secure the comb portion and clamp portion together. A method for styling hair utilizing the hairdressing apparatus includes the initial step of brushing the hair rearwardly to form a ponytail having long and short hair strands. The clamp portion of the hairdressing apparatus is then clamped on the ponytail at a location to grip both the long and short hair strands, and spaced away from the head. The end of the ponytail is then rolled towards the head, the roll being parallel to the clamp apparatus, until the clamp apparatus is wrapped into the roll.
